@Out of the Rafters at the Q I also see that Missing Mountain is tapping a new sour this weekend
Best gose I've had in the area is still Terrestrial's Porco Painkiller Gose.I was a big fan of their sours early-on. They did a series of 12 or so sour/Gose/Berliner style beers a few years back and I would seek each of the series out (Disco Gosefather was one).
When the "Martian" beers came out, it was just after they got the ol' cease & desist from Icee for copying their logo. Think the beer became the Martian line.
They’re also tapping a keg of one of their BA variants of their stout, We’re Not Mad Just Disappointed. It’s the Buffalo Trace Experimental Wheated Whiskey barrel aged one. There should be a lot of good beers tapping around the area with the Winter Warmer Cask Day happening Saturday.@Out of the Rafters at the Q I also see that Missing Mountain is tapping a new sour this weekend
That sounds about on par for what I got unfortunately. From that photo it looks like you did things well and it fermented as it should. That thick foam on the top is what you want.@browniebob My girlfriend and I bottled our Dead Ringer today. I was a little disappointed though, as we only got 6 bottles filled. We were in the middle of bottling our 7th and it just wasn’t filling anymore. I had her try picking the fermenter up and tilting it, but it looked like a bunch of the build up at the bottom was making its way into the tube. It must have been clogging up, because we tried for like 5 minutes to continue filling the bottle and it just wouldn’t budge.
When you did Dead Ringer how many bottles did you fill? I have read online that usually 1 gallon batches get around 12 bottles usually. We could maybe have gotten to 8 or 9 if not for all the gunk at the bottom clogging our line, so I’m curious if I did something wrong during the brewing process. I added a photo of what it looked like after fermentation was a few days in.
Honestly, I've liked around 1 out of every 6 beers I've tried from Platform. As in, that one was decent, and the rest were trash. I stopped trying a while ago though.
I try to gobble up Jackie O's sours when available, but generally I outsource for most sours. Cascade, New Glarus fruited sours (big pain to get), Brewery, and of course Cantillon. But this sure runs up the tab. $$$$$$
I need to get to Lizardville ASAP.
Does Lizardville ever get their hands on New Glarus stuff?Honestly, I've liked around 1 out of every 6 beers I've tried from Platform. As in, that one was decent, and the rest were trash. I stopped trying a while ago though.

That's what I figured. The Lizardville comment must have been in reference to the other breweries mentioned.New Glarus isn’t distributed outside Wisconsin.
This is beautiful . Personal favorites are Vigneronne and Fou' Foune. But I like the pucker. lol.
Yeah frustratingly they don't. Lizardville is still my happy place regardless.New Glarus isn’t distributed outside Wisconsin.
It doesn't get much better than being in Switzerland for work, on a beautiful summer evening, and sitting outside alone with a nice beer.This is beautiful . Personal favorites are Vigneronne and Fou' Foune. But I like the pucker. lol.
